Bruce, you're writing your next Skelgill book frantically and without any interruptions, right? Just checking. Will COVID feature as a theme, by the way?
Bruce Beckham
Hi Assia - frantically and WITH interruptions is probably more accurate! But I'm getting there, although I have noticed my 'lockdown' books are turning out a bit longer than usual (a mystery, that).
As for your question - I decided not to incorporate Covid into the story - although the first British lockdown did present some interesting challenges for criminals - it seems they were being picked off like shooting fish in a barrel as they were the only persons out and about. On the other hand, there is the ability to wear a mask without suspicion!
I'm keeping the possibility under review for the next novel in the series.
Thank you
Bruce

Food plays a prominent role in the stories. I always eat before reading so I won't be tempted to run to the kitchen. My question is this: Do the non-fictional people of the Lakes District adore bacon rolls, sausage, pastries and curry (?) as much as your two male characters do? Although, I suspect DS Jones bags her lunches. I appreciate how your characters march along unfettered by you. It is fantastic. Jean
